Avoid Preventable IV Accidents

I have personally seen patients inadvertently grab IV tubing thus causing the medication to spill out of the bag, this poses a risk to patients and staff of being exposed to toxic and hazardous substances. I myself have accidentally disconnected a bag of blood resulting in a large amount of blood being spilled on myself and the patient and the surrounding area. Improvement in this area is greatly needed, the Spike Guard will address this concern and improve the safety in handling, administering and receiving hazardous medications and blood products. That is why I fully endorse Tracy Lannan’s Spike Guard.

As a Registered Nurse for the past 27 years, I have seen many changes in health care. Although occupational health and safety measures have greatly improved since I started my nursing career, there remains a void in the area of the administration of hazardous medications and the emerging markets of biosimilar and biologics. As a registered nurse working in an oncology infusion center, I fully endorse Tracy Lannan’s Spike Guard that will prevent the IV tubing from dislodging from the IV container.
